"How old are you this year?"
Lou Qingyi wanted to teach his brother a lesson, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
"By the way, have you gone to see my mother? You are going to accompany her in the evening. Remember to remind her to take medicine..."
"Sister, these people are very mean. They say bad things about you in the school, and they did the same thing on the way to class today. I'm really angry. Now..."
Lou Qingyi kept silent about the fight, and talked about other things while wiping the blood on his brother with a silk handkerchief.
"They just bullied me because my father is dead and my mother is sick. You found a husband-in-law, but he is... why did you marry him, why?" "If you don't want to marry, you can talk to Aweng. As long as you persist, Aweng will do it."
Weng will definitely come forward to stop this...Aweng will always wake up..."
The young man's tone became increasingly urgent, and then gradually became more oral.
"You don't understand these things!"
Seeing her brother being beaten so badly, she felt heartbroken, but she managed not to cry.
But when his brother said this, Lou Qingyi's emotions that he had controlled for a long time seemed to completely collapse in an instant. Tears rolled down one after another, and he hugged Lou Yu and started crying.
Even Zi Ling, who was following him, wept secretly.
"You've never seen him, how do you know he's not good?" After a while, Lou Qingyi gently stopped sobbing.
"If he is really good, how come my sister is always depressed?" Xingchen said stubbornly.
Lou Qingyi hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a carriage drove over from the opposite side and stopped slowly when it got close.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Qingyi?" The man on the carriage stepped out of the carriage and greeted him with a smile, "Where are you going?"
The visitor's name is Shan Teng, and he is nominally a relative of Lou Qingyi, but there is no "kin" in the word, because he is the nephew of the second aunt Shan.
Seeing Dan Teng greeting her, Lou Qingyi forced out a smile, which was regarded as a response.
Even in normal times, she would not want to have too much contact with such people, not to mention that she was in a state of confusion at this time.
Shan Teng looked at Lou Xingchen again and said, "Did Xingchen fight with someone again just now? Are you okay?"
Lou Xingchen rolled his eyes at him, pouted, and ignored him.
He has always looked down upon this second aunt's nephew. Not to mention his kinship with the second aunt, what he dislikes the most is that Shan Teng has been scheming against his sister.
Shan Teng is about 27 or 28 years old. His wife passed away the year before last and the relationship has never been renewed.
Shan Teng seemed to be used to the lukewarm attitude of his siblings, and was not angry at all. He smiled and said: "I have a good healing medicine there, which is specially used to treat bruises. The effect is very good, but it will be worse later."
Someone will bring it to you."
Lou Qingyi finally rejected Dan Teng's kindness. It was well known to everyone that Sima Zhao had no intention of meeting this person unless necessary.
Dan Teng boarded the carriage, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, the horses' hooves stamped, the wheels rolled, the carriage moved forward slowly, his face gloomy and unpredictable.
Thinking of the woman just now, I gritted my teeth, slowly opened the curtains, and looked back, my pupils as sharp as blades, staring at the siblings.
I saw the young man pointing to a certain place in the sky and cheering, while the woman was also staring into the distance.
A colorful paper kite flew straight up and flew high into the clouds.
"Lou Qingyi, one day you will become my paper kite. As long as you hold the string pulling the paper kite, you can fly back at any time..."
And almost at the same time, a young man who looked like a scholar sat on the ridge of the room, holding a spool in his hand, and softly chanted: "Let the kite fly gently, the clouds are green and carefree, my mind is flying, and I am wandering around the world..."
"Uncle, please be careful, wow, it's so tall...Uncle, be careful..."
"It's so high. Who is flying the kite? If you find that person, you must ask him for advice."
After all, Lou Xingchen was a child, and he was quickly attracted to new things. This paper kite was many times higher than what he usually used, and he was very envious of it.
Lou Qingyi retracted her gaze and said: "Some people in the family are eyeing us. My mother is still ill in bed. It can be said that she is suffering from both internal and external troubles. You should be more sensible and stop causing trouble. Otherwise, don't come to recognize me.
This is my sister."
Lou Xingchen knew his sister's temper, and these words were already a very severe reprimand, so he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Lou Qingyi added: "Sincerity is the way of heaven; sincerity is the way of man. I have taught you this truth a long time ago..."
Lou Xingchen hurriedly interrupted his sister and said: "You want to say why you lied to Dan Teng just now? What you said is for a gentleman. For a person like him, there is no need to talk about the word 'sincerity'.
”
"But you are obviously lying!"
"Don't say it so seriously. The man at home is my brother-in-law. I was injured in a fight outside. Naturally, his brother-in-law has to stand up for me. Sister, maybe he has seen everything that happened here. I'm afraid he is...
On the way."
"Humph, I'm afraid you don't even believe such lies!" Lou Qingyi rolled her eyes at her brother, knowing that he was just talking nonsense.
In fact, when Shanglou Qingyi was angry about this matter, it was not because his brother was lying, but because he didn't want his brother to even mention the husband at home.
After all, this person was not chosen according to his own wishes.
Although Chen Chang helped her solve the land redistribution issue in Zhuangzi, and she was grateful, it had nothing to do with feelings.
It's impossible for her to repay her kindness with emotion.
In fact, her feelings for Chen Chang are very bland.
Whether he is bad or good, she doesn't really care. She just hopes that he will appear in her life as little as possible.
She knew that such thoughts tended to be deceptive. After all, the two of them had been married through marriage and were a couple in name only, and this was a fact that could not be changed in a short time.
But in my heart, I couldn't help but want to completely erase him from my thoughts. I couldn't help but imagine that I was still a girl waiting for marriage, instead of marrying someone else's wife.
The current situation of the Lou family is a bit complicated. Among the big families, people have a lot of complaints against the old man. The most important thing is that the old man refuses to re-enter the officialdom. The Lou family’s voice in the officialdom is much weaker. This affects many Lou family members.
A major matter for the future and destiny of the children of the family.
The imperial court has always attached great importance to family background when selecting talents.
Confucius' concepts of "education without discrimination" and "promoting talents" concentratedly expressed the aspirations of the people from educational openness to political openness.
In the selection of talents in the Han Dynasty, the hereditary system was replaced by the recommendation system, and talents with both ability and political integrity were selected through the examination and selection system, which met the needs of society at that time to a certain extent.
However, the recommendation system also has limitations, and these limitations become more obvious in the later stages.
